It's true. Jewelry is personal.  It's an intimate art form. We wear it on our bodies. It's with us wherever we go. Each piece can be a wearable touchstone to connect us to a vision for ourselves, remind us of a loved one, an accomplishment, or a milestone in life. These are things we all know. Call me an idealist, but this I believe: we all love, we want to be loved, and we want to engage life as the very best version of ourselves.  ~ Ginger
